While depending on your provider, your service will be interrupted and you will have dead spots (no service, no internet) now and then, which can be quite frustrating especially if you are in the middle of something.You might have to check with your service provider, see if you have unlimited data, if not check how much will cost you, it can get quite expensive, for each extra GB.
